Description

Once again you see the light of the day. In the midday heat, the aroma of honey grass wafts up to you. Golden stalks lean towards the ground; there will be a good harvest! In the shade of the trees, you see a woman on her throne; her hair is black, like rich, fertile soil. She is dressed in red and gold; a wreath of wheat and red poppies crowning her head. The look of her eyes is attentive and gentle; sympathetically she offers you rest and food. Accept her care. You're safe and serene, so use this time to regain energy. Feel how the fruits give you strength to continue your path and affection heals your heart. As you make your way on your path, do not forget the one who always meets you with open arms; she is your mother and mother of all people.
